Ask a Migration Agent
What is an employer-sponsored visa?

An employer-sponsored visa lets an approved Australian business nominate a skilled worker for a role it cannot readily fill locally. Common subclasses include the TSS 482, ENS 186, RSMS 187 and SESR 494.

Do I need a job offer before applying?

For employer-sponsored streams, yes — a nominated position with an approved or eligible sponsor is required.

How long does the process take?

Timeframes vary by subclass, occupation and circumstances. After your eligibility assessment we provide a realistic timeline.

Can a temporary visa lead to permanent residency?

In many cases, yes. Several temporary employer-sponsored visas offer a structured pathway to PR.

How much do your services cost?

We work on transparent, fixed-fee arrangements agreed before any work begins. Your initial assessment is free.

Will I have a dedicated contact?

Always. Every client is assigned a dedicated case manager from first call through to grant.
